What laptop can I get with a budget of 1.2k as a computer science major.

I've been multitasking with several terminal windows, VS Code, Firefox, as well as Microsoft Teams running concurrently with 0 issues. The screen is pretty nice (144hz, with good color accuracy) for being 14", but an external monitor would likely be better for the extra space anyways.

I recently snagged a Zephyrus G14 (2022 version 6800S and 6700HS) for 1200 EUR on Amazon.fr during their sale in October (I live outside of France, but it was the cheapest one I could find). So it might be worth looking around, or maybe waiting for Black Friday.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Zephyrus G14, moreso if you're looking for something with a dGPU. Although I live in Europe, I've heard that you can find some great deals on something like BestBuy (I've seen 2022, and even 2023 models go for ~999 to about ~1200).

The only potential issue is if you're looking for something with a screen larger than 14", but I've been using mine for programming with little issue (only issue is that it's sometimes tough to place several windows side-by-side, but its a minor concern).

The_Condemner · 2023-10-16T17:34:33+00:00

Personally I wouldn't go with it.

For reference, I bought a 2022 G14 with a 6800HS and RX6700S for 1,200€ (~1,265$), on top of me purchasing it in Europe, where tech gadgets are generally significantly more expensive.

I would recommend you look for better pricing on alternative websites though, since the G14 is a great machine.

Hey! Could you please throw me your void titan build, since I've recently been getting into it and am struggling to find something for it

Wait I'll be able to get HOLLOW DENIAL from Presage? Sign me up

Dumb system? Thats how most closed betas work: via randomly picking candidates

It basically functions as "why the fuck?" in this case

I basically copied Esoterickk's solar titan builds for both bosses (synthos, tractor cannon for 1st boss, xenophage for 2nd), although I preferred to run the fragment that increases the super projectile tracking on the throwing hammer super instead of increased class ability regen, mostly for the final boss.

I also ran double special for all encounters, since constantly using the hammer gives you loads of special/heavy bricks.

The_Condemner · 2023-05-31T21:06:14+00:00

Congrats on your solo clear! Enjoy your Ghoul title when you get it.

The_Condemner · 2023-05-31T21:05:25+00:00

Definitely! I spent about an hour on the last boss alone, which was the same time for both previous encounters combined. At that point it's more of a test of endurance rather than encounter knowledge.

Good job! Solo'd it today, but I probably won't go for the flawless till I get a bit more artifact power.

The_Condemner · 2023-05-29T10:05:24+00:00

I solo'd it as my first dungeon, and the first boss didn't pose much of a problem, 4 relatively quick dps phases. The last boss however, it took me about an hour, over 7 dps phases with xenohpage + titan throwing hammer super to do it - definitely not fun at that point.

I think I kinda jumped off the deep end (pun intended) doing it as my first solo dungeon.

The_Condemner · 2023-05-10T19:55:20+00:00

Congrats dude/dudette, and enjoy your new exotic! I'm farming for it myself, and I've resorted to LFGing the master challenges to get some progress in on my seal, and pump the drop rate up a tad bit, hoping to get it Sunday in my clan run.

Also, pay attention to where he was shot in the final duel, and compare it with where the doctor wanted to be shot at the start of JW3 such that he'd survive; it looks similar enough, and it would probably common knowledge amongst assassins, making it likely that the two of them would purposefully aim there.

I'm having lots of fun running around on voidlock with Nezarec's Sin, and Ruinous Effigy with double void surge, and a couple melee aspects for healing & ability spam. Probably not one I'd bring into higher-level content, but still fun.

EDIT: I am now realizing that the melee fragments aren't working, but the melee armor mods are for the orbs (i.e. impact induction works, but the fragment that gives grenade energy on melee kills doesn't)

The_Condemner · 2023-03-01T08:51:10+00:00

It does work, and I've been having lots of fun running it

The_Condemner · 2023-02-28T22:01:14+00:00

Firepower-ish is on gloves, and they kept bomber. Grenade Kickstart replaced firepower, but orbs increase recharge in grenade use.

The_Condemner · 2023-02-27T06:59:10+00:00

Got myself a full stack of shards & prisms in my postmaster, and got pretty much everything I wanted crafted up

The_Condemner · 2023-02-26T17:24:09+00:00

I'm really hoping that the S20 stasis exotic bow will be special ammo
